City can help to clean up parks by creating 'goose poop hotline'

The Repository’s suggestion to ticket people who feed the geese is a good one “People who feed geese should pay the price,” March 21 editorial). I assume that the Canton police or park police would do the ticketing.

To those who may have yet to experience this phenomenon, goose droppings are a real problem. I have stepped gingerly down the fairways at a number of local golf courses and also around a pond near my home to avoid the mess.

How about calling on the citizens who use the park to lend a hand? Create a “goose poop hotline.” People like to be involved in solving crime. Encourage anyone who sees someone feeding the geese to call the police hotline. Hopefully the police can respond quickly to catch them in the act.
